Roland XV-88 Manuale Utente

The Performances, Patches, Rhythm Sets, System and 
Favorite List settings in internal memory can be saved as a 
single file onto a memory card.

• Data files contain an entire set of parameter settings for 

the sound generator. It is not possible to save individual 
Patches or Performances to a memory card.

• In order to use a memory card, 

, and then insert a memory card into the 

MEMORY CARD slot as follows.

Before a memory card can be used, it must be formatted 
(p. 189).

from the memory card being inserted into the MEMORY 
CARD slot.

You cannot save data to a memory card to which the 
write protect seal is still affixed.

5. When saving to a new memory card, the data is saved to 

File Number: 01, Bank: A. Afterwards, up to File 
Number: 08, the next saved file is assigned automatically 
to the subsequent Bank B–H.

To overwrite a previously existing file, select the file 
number of that file.

The Banks A–H assigned here correspond to the Card 
Group Banks A–H, but in this case you can select 
Performances, Patches, and Rhythm Sets directly, rather 
than having to use the Load operation to read files on 
memory cards into the XV-88 (p. 190).

To change and delete assignments to the Banks A–H, use 
the CARD INFO page (p. 190).

6. When necessary, change the file name. You can assign 

the file a name of up to eight characters.

7. Press [ENTER] to execute the save operation.

The number of files that can be saved on a card will 
depend on the memory capacity of the card itself.

If you attempt to save to a memory card that still has the 
write protect seal affixed to it, the message “Memory 
Card Write Protected” appears in the display. First turn 
off the XV-88’s power, then after peeling off the write 
protect seal, try saving the data once more.
